POTATO MATZO KUGEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Grease the inside of a 2 quart baking dish.
• Grate the potatoes and onions (food processor will turn the potatoes brown really quickly and it's UGLY - avoid it if possible) and place in a strainer set over a bowl. It's important to work quick so the potatoes don't brown too much.
• Squeeze as much moisture as you can from the potatoes and onions, and remove the strainer from the bowl.
• In the bowl, you will see a liquid that sits on top of starch that is sticking to the bottom.
• Discard the liquid being very careful not to discard the starch underneath.
• Add the potatoes and onions to the bowl with the starch, along with the eggs, matzo meal, oil, and salt and pepper. I have not given a specific amount of salt as this is an individual preference - I like a lot of salt, and if I would post the amount, people's hypertension would soar just at reading it.
• Stir very well.
• Insert the mixture into the baking dish and bake for 45minutes-1hour, until the kugel is browned and bubbling.

POTATO KUGEL

Steps:

• Into a bowl grate 3 large potatoes, peeled, and squeeze them in 2 batches in a tea towel to remove the moisture. In another bowl combine the potatoes with 1 onion and 1 small carrot, both grated, and toss the mixture with 1/2 cup flour, 2 eggs, lightly beaten, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In an 8-inch pie tin render 3 tablespoons chicken fat, add the potato mixture, and smooth it with a spatula. Bake the kugel in a preheated moderately hot oven (375°F.) for 45 to 50 minutes, or until it is golden. Serve the kugel cut into wedges.
